I've waited since June to reveal the cover art for my second Young Adult novel, Midnight Sisters, a twist on the fairytale classic, The Twelve Dancing Princesses. It is with pride and great pleasure that I finally reveal the cover for Midnight Sisters, to be released in January 2017.
An excerpt from Midnight Sisters:
Do no meddle with the Master's daughters.
The words rattle around Jonas’ head. What is the
punishment again? Death? Dismemberment? Jonas, the newest addition to the
gardening staff, can’t recall the exact penalty for breaking the rule. What
does it matter anyway? He would never dream of meddling with the Earl of
Bromhurst’s haughty daughters.
Until he comes face to face with Lady Ariela Spencer, the eldest of
the His Lordship’s daughters.
Her elusive smile and open manner cause him to question his
convictions. In no time, he’s drawn into Lady Ariela's world of mystery and
intrigue, a world where she and her sisters will do anything—including leaving
twelve empty beds at midnight—to escape their father’s strict rules.
Only Jonas can uncover the truth and save them from their
father’s wrath and their own folly, if he is willing to risk everything he’s
ever worked for.

A note from the author:Whenever I mention The Twelve Dancing Princesses, there is invariably someone who is unfamiliar with the tale. By clicking the above link, you'll be taken to versions of the fairytale from all over the world. Also, if you click on the link at the beginning of this post, you'll be taken to the Grimm Brother's rendition, which is the one I followed most closely.
